Synopsis

Long live the new Thoheeks! But who will this new leader of Sanderz-Vawn be? For although young, Horseclansman Tim Sanderez, exiled long years ago has come to reclaim his rightful inheritance, his stepmother has other plans... Before Tim's half-brother and the Undying High Lord Milo can send aid, Sanderz Hall has become an armed camp where Ehleen battles Horseclansman with cunning, treachery and sword-swinging might. And there is far more at stake than just the leadership of Sanderz-Vawn. For the Confederation's deadliest enemy is once again at work, using its inhuman science to plant the seeds of Lord Milo's destruction at Sanderz Hall...

About this title

About the Author

Robert Adams (1932-1990) was a career soldier whose Horseclans series drew on his military background to lend verisimilitude to the exploits of 26th century of immortal mutant warriors in a balkanized North America. The Coming of the Horseclans (originally published in 1975) was the first of 18 novels in the sequence, which ended, with The Clan of the Cats (1988), only on account of the author’s death. His non-Horseclans work included two other series. Castaways in Time (1980) and its five sequels were a mix of alternate history and time travel. The Stairway to Forever and Monsters and Magicians (both 1988) were the only volumes to appear of a projected fantasy series. He also co-edited several anthologies, among them Barbarians (1985, with Martin H. Greenberg and Charles H. Waugh), four Magic in Ithkar volumes (1985-87, with Andre Norton), Robert Adams’ Book of Alternate Worlds (1987, with Pamela Crippen Adams and Martin H. Greenberg) and Robert Adams’ Book of Soldiers (1988, same co-editors).
